Minnesota Vikings OT Andre Smith (elbow) missed practice again Friday, Oct. 7, and team officials believe the elbow injury he suffered in Week 4 against the New York Giants may be serious enough to place him on the Reserve/Injured list.

Minnesota Vikings OT T.J. Clemmings, who started all 16 games at right tackle last season, will move to left tackle to serve as the backup to OT Matt Kalil, according to head coach Mike Zimmer. Kalil is entering the final year of his contract and the team had a logjam at right tackle due to the free-agent signing of OT Andre Smith and the return of OT Phil Loadholt, who missed the entire 2015 season with a torn Achilles' tendon.
